I travel for business - a lot. I secretly carry my seatbelt extender..and the awkwardness of trying to get settled, in the seat and it all hooked up while a hundred walk by seeing all of my struggles trying to get situated. By the time I do, I'm so hot, tired and just OVER it.

I actually had a steward(ess) tell me to please not try to steal the seatbelt extender. It was mine. I bought it on Amazon. : ( But that was just HUMILIATING.

I want to be able to travel without someone looking at me like I'm a monster when I try to sit next to them on the plane.

That (above) and being able to sit without an extra 50lbs sitting on the top of my thighs from my belly.

Those are the things I can't wait for after surgery.

Not Worrying, dammit is this chair gone hold out.

I'm with you@! I get the chair thing. I actually broke a tiny one in a conference room in my office. THAT...*sigh*...and I can't wait to buy clothes in a normal store and just not be sad that they don't carry my size.

Oh this!! And also being able to get the tray down so that it sits flat, not resting on my belly at an incline!

Sigh. I forgot all the times I tiredly chosen to stand because the chairs were sketchy. I've had chairs collapse and legs snap off while I was in them , at events.

But

This girl did yoga so I was able to sustain chair pose long after the chair. never again. I hope nothing but the best for y'all!!!

Safe Journey 🎈

My favorite Chinese resturant has bench seating and booths, went to sit and slide, and the doggone bench started rocking back and forth. Thought a PA went off, Fat Girl Alert, B-I-G Woman on board. Dreaming of being less obtrusive, just being Less Special when I just came for my HotSpur Soup.< /p>

I get lots of those as well. And those plastic lawn chairs. I just stand up when visiting ppl and family with those. : \

Yes, and feeling the pain of sitting in those too small chairs. I made the mistake, too, of sitting in the emergency exit on the plane. THOSE seats do NOT have any give. The sides are made that way for structure. I was in serious pain for a 4 hour flight.

Yes! I actually bought a package for myself for Christmas this year that expires in 1 year. I know I won't be perfect, but it's my motivation to have them done around this time next year!

I've never owned a dress as an adult or even teenager and I'm 38. Haven't been swimming and enjoyed it since I was a kid. Every day of my life I've been self-conscious in some form or fashion about my fat. I can't wait for the day when that's no longer an issue. And when I can feel pretty for once and believe it myself.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
